Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrooklynKnight" data-source="post: 1635273" data-attributes="member: 4490">Makes me wish I lived in Boulder. I have a suggestion on how to deal with high level spell items such as scrolls. I think that the various libraries, specificall Korranberg (sp?), Morgraive University, The Arcane Congress, and the Twelve would have a store of spells of any level. Just because they HAVE the scrolls does not mean they are available. The lack of high level casters to create them would inflate their value by untold degrees (between 4 and 10 fold). So While these places may have them, you wont be able to buy them at the DMG cost at all. If you offer to give them quaduaple the listed value, plus a trade of some rare item, AND/OR complete a huge quest in their name, then MAYBE you can get the scroll for your caster to use, or one of their casters to use upon you. This works out well because not only does it keep these spells and effects in the game/world for your players to use,but it actually establishes the need for quests and adventures. Unlike in FR or Grayhawk you cant just hire any wizard to create them, you must actually find them. Right now on IRC I'm playing an Artificer who once worked in Cyre's Creation Forges. His wife and him got caught in Cyre during the Day of Mourning, but survived. They were both affected strongly however. Both were level drained back to first level, AND his wife lost the ability to have children. Now his driving ambition to adventure is to regain his abilities and talents, and find some sort of healing magic to restore his wife to fertility. That means either Greater Restoration, Heal, or Wish. Not only does he have to level back up to afford the magic, but he has to find it...Maybe in Xen'drik, maybe the elves of Aerenal will help. Who knows? But it makes for a GREAT hook, AND it leaves possiblities in the game. Thus everyone is happy and the settings flavor and balance is preserved.</blockquote>
